VALENTINE’S
DAY – at Humberside Montessori on Thursday, Feb. 11, 2016
As Valentine’s Day
quickly approaches, we would like to inform you of how we will be celebrating
the holiday.
Casa
information - we are asking that cards not be distributed throughout the
school due to the many problems that arise within the classes. Past experience
has shown that young children can become very frustrated for several reasons –
not receiving valentines, the inability to read what is written and who the card
is from, and the difficulty of distributing the cards themselves to name just a
few. Please be assured that Valentine’s Day will be discussed and celebrated
within the classes in an age and developmentally appropriate way. The
celebration will vary depending on the class. Thank you for your cooperation.
Elementary
and Adolescent information - the elementary and adolescent students are
older, and therefore are able to celebrate this occasion on a different level.
They do really enjoy writing and reading their greetings. Therefore, the
exchange of cards in the elementary class will take place inside the classroom.
Please make sure that your children make their own valentines or, if they have
already purchased store-bought valentines, to write a personal greeting or a
poem on the back.
Happy Valentine’s
Day!
P.A. DAY –
FRIDAY, FEB. 12, 2016 & FAMILY DAY, MONDAY, FEB. 15, 2016
There will be no
classes on Friday, Feb. 12, 2016 due to our Professional Activity Day and
Monday, Feb. 15, 2016 as we will be celebrating Family Day.
